***Upgradation of T-72 tanks begins in Jaisalmer***

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Oh come on!When last month I asked Taimi Khan he told PA had 300 Al khalids and 150 Al khalid I.He also stated that PA was inducting them in smaller batches due to budgetary issues.And now in one month it suddenly jumps to over 600!Man,it's you who needs a reality check.
By the way,Arjun's frontal armor was 7 inches thick,with 120 mm of alloy made of high hardened steel,Mn and tungsten with smaller amount of glass reinforced plastic and 30 mm thich ceramic alumina tiles in 1985.
You guys are crazy alright.Because when wiki says Type 99 armor can withstand 7 hits from t72 then it is the most authentic.But when same wiki says samething about the kanchan armor it becomes bs.
By the way,we don't need the same number of arjuns for your alkhalids because when a heavy weight colides with a flyweight,flyweight looses 99% of times.
REGARDS....

Tht mean there r over 500 AKs 600 were planned...... AK-II will form the back bone of PA armour..... n No i never discredited the kanchan armour im talkin abt AKs armour of which nothing is known except tht its a complex armour and tht GIDS has invented some new armour for AK-I upgrade which is hard, light and very strong.

I forgot something Mr Pakistani Nationalist.I don't know you know or not,some months back ganimi kawa had posted an article in which V.K.Saraswat clearly stated that DRDO had developed the advanced laser warning and control system and the directional infrared decoy systems had been successfully tested and intigrated to Arjuns.He also stated that his organisation has developed the directional warheads,milimetric wave radar and a high speed ballistic computer for the indigenous active protection system to be fitted in the mk2.A automatic target tracking and destruction system has also been develop and tested successfuly.
But the part I liked the most was that ARDE had developed a new mk2 120 mm FSAPDS T round.This round packs a much stronger propelant.The mk1 rounds are fired in only 640 mpa which is by far underutylised as the gun can withstand a borepressure of 950 mpa.So new rounds are fired in close to 850 mpa bore pressure.Now you can imagine how strong these rounds will be.

All right then.You are no doubt an informed member and I have full faith in your words.I also heard the new light weight armor.But I want to ask you one question.You told the armor was light means it's less dence.Now experts say that the dencer the armor the harder to penetrate for a KE round.So by making it less dence are not you making it more vulnerable?If you see you will find that all the western countries are using dencer materials like DU and tungsten mess in the armor.
Please don't think I am trying to degrade the Al khalid.Because my words will not change the reality that the Al khalid is a formidable tank.If you watch I even supported you in the ak vs t 90s because that was the right thing to do.
REGARDS....

Al-Khalid 1 is equipped with a newly developed indigenous ERA which is not only light weight, but also more resistant to APFSDS, HEAT and HE-FS rounds. ERA is developed by Global Industries and Defense Solutions (GIDS) Corporation........

.....................

An advanced laser detection system from Al Technique Corporation (ATCOP) is present, the ATCOP LTS 1 laser threat warning system developed by Institute of Industrial Control Systems.[27] LTS 1 consists of a mast-mounted sensor and operator's control box, which includes a display showing threats 360 degrees around the tank. It can detect laser rangefinders and laser target designators as well as respond automatically by triggering acoustic alarms, smoke generators and other countermeasure systems. LTS 1 can detect laser devices operating in the 0.8 to 1.06 µm waveband, has a 360° field of view in azimuth (resolution of 15°) and a field of view in elevation of -15° to +90°. Operating voltage is 12 V or 24 V DC nominal with power consumption being 8 W nominal. The sensor head is 165 mm in diameter and 35 mm high while the control box is 80 x 130 x 55 mm in size. Laser Threat sensor LTS786P is an early warning device which gives audio and visual alarms of threat by sensing a laser beam aimed at it from any direction. The exact location of the threat (in-coming beam) is indicated by nine LEDs, covering all directions above horizon. It has the capability to differentiate between a laser Range Finder, Laser Target Designator or a Laser Target Tracker Signal. In addition, provision of sensor output signal, interfacing for appropriate counter-measures, is also available. It can be used on stationary or moving objects of any size or shape. Maximum operating Range is 10 km.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Response: Enhanced for Nd:YAG Laser Signal

Range: >10,000 m

Field of view: Capable of detecting any signal aimed towards LTS786P.

Detector type: Silicon Photodiode

Size (approx): 214 x 134 mm (sensor Head)

126 x 123 x 100 mm (Display Unit)

Weight 2 kg (sensor Head) (Approx): 1 kg (Display Unit)

Hey pakistani nationalist,I am sorry if I ofended you at some point of time,I got too heated in debate.By the way,though off topic but still one think I wil want to ask-can you please pass me some infos about the jammers being used in JF 17 thunder block 1?A link is not necessary at this point of time,I can take your words for that.THANX in advance.

As,Pandora said,the T-90M will be the most advanced tank in the Indian inventory until the next variant of Arjun is Inducted.
Edit-The T-90M will have one of the best ERA's in the world i.e,the Kaktus embedded ERA as opposed to the Kontakt-5 on the T-90S Bhishma.

 

[IND151]

the bhishma does have aps - the LEDS 150 by saab.

yes. i too read on wiki that contract for fitting t 90 M bhisma with APS was won by SAAB.

DRDO developed armour to replace Russian armour of T-72 and T-90.

Really!This is an awesome news man!Now atleast the tanks will be more durable.Russian armor is below average at the best.But I still don't like the russian tanks.Their guns are by far inferior to ARDE. L52 guns.Their carousal autoloader can not hold the modern longrod FSAPDS rounds,moreover they store the ammos around the crew right into the crew compartment.That means if the tanks get penetrated(which will definately happen in a war situation)crews will die horryfying death.
Yet the autoloaders with 8 rounds/mim don't give any advantage over manual loader because a trained man can also load the ammos at the same rate.
So we believe or not,T90 whether M/S is an utterly inferior tank compared to today's tanks.

This is my 1st post in pdf
I always want to ask you learned members 1 question
India ordered on 2006 330 T-90M and in 2007 347 T-90M
they features some improvement over the basic T-90s
Now from this links like wiki and others I can't post the links as this is my first post
igorrgroup.blogspot.com/2010/01/90-new-specs
T-90M is a Prototype version featuring
Relikt or Kaktus ERA
New additional autoloader
new 2A82 125 mm MG main gun
1,250 PS V-99 engine
etc
This tank was unveiled in 2009
so how can india order T-90M in 2006?
The Indian T-90 has 2A46 gun which is not so effective in firing long rod penetrators
Indian T-90 does not have Commanders Panoramic Sight and they have problems with there
THALES-built Catherine-FC thermal imager due to heat
Are this problem solved?
And wiki is referencing to prasun senguptas blog when saying that the Saab's LEDS-150
has won the APS contact
I don't believe all source of prasun senguptas as he has been proven wrong more than often
is there any other source to confirm what APS will go in the T-90M?
India will be license-assembled T-90 what is the indigenous content in Indian build T-90?
I also heard thet they are using kanchan Armour in T-90
upgraded Indian T-90M must have increased weight due to upgrades so they must need more
powerful engine than the 1,000 hp engine presently used
How does Indian T-90M differ from that of Russian T-90A does Indian T-90M really have Kaktus ERA?
And lastly what type of gun does Arjun use is it 120mm 44 caliber or 120mm 52 caliber ?
I could not find any credible source about the gun clarification of Arjun

Syrian incorporate Indian upgrade of T 72.

The desert camouflage looks amazing!!!

Syrian incorporate Indian upgrade of T 72.

Where did you find it from,bro??

 

[vsdave2302]

T-72 is old.

If we can pugrade it with new gun, engine and night vision with ERA, it can be an A** kicker.

Better to replace the turrets altogether.
